Adopt a [Chinese] Blog
malorkus writes "Here's a great way for bloggers and others with decent web hosting to help fight internet censorship in China and other restrictive countries. Adopt a Chinese Blog aims to match up censored bloggers with volunteer hosts."
Methinks the distinction here is censorship of information and legitimate opinion rather than censorship of trolls. We like to censor trolls, nobody wants to wake up to one in the morning...
Yeah right.
Until you make a joke about Mac's and get banned for a month. Of course, making jokes about Windows in every other article is ok, but don't touch the blessing children of Slashdot, the mac, or anything running linux.
The people who run slashdot abuse their power to enforce their views. It's not really that bad though, Slashdot isn't professional journalism, it's just a crappy website that became more successful than it ever should have.
There's no rights violation. It says so right in your thing:
Citizens of the People's Republic of China enjoy freedom of speech, of the press, of assembly, of association, of procession and of demonstration.
The constitution doesn't say they get that stuff, just that they enjoy it. That was a pretty safe bet on the part of the constitution writers. Much better than Article 51, which says the people of China "want someone who likes to just stay in and cuddle."
